Emerging from the quest for natural resources and ores, it developed into an independent field of research only in the last few centuries.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-14073/

"What is surprising is that it must have happened reasonably often," explains Ernst Hauber, a planetary researcher at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR).http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-14010/

Is Siloe Patera actually the remains of a supervolcano? There is evidence to suggest this – but also evidence against it. It is a current example of an interesting geoscientific debate.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-13701/

Now, planetary scientists, under the leadership of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have, for the first time, joined these individual 50 to 100 kilometre wide strips to create a single large-scale map.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-13327/

Stretching for hundreds of kilometres, this alignment of numerous mountains, rolling hills and ridges lies to the east of the volcano Hecates Tholus in the Elysium volcanic region.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-12760/

The grabens of Nili Fossae extend for several hundred kilometres along the eastern edge of the giant impact basin Isidis Planitia and, together with the volcanic region Syrtis Major, they form a concentric pattern that runs parallel to the edge of the basin.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-12606/

For 11 years now – to be precise since Christmas Eve 2003 – the first and, for some time now, European Space Agency longest-serving interplanetary mission has been travelling around our planetary neighbour.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-12460/

The camera is operated by DLR and is being used to systematically image the surface of the Red Planet in 3D and in colour for the first time.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-12277/

The celestial body - a mere 500 metres in diameter - passed the Red Planet at a distance of just 137,000 kilometres, where it was observed by several spacecraft in orbit around Mars.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-11946/

Dozens or even hundreds of isolated mountains up to 2000 metres high are scattered in these extensive regions. Seen from orbit, they form a bizarre, chaotic pattern.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-11848/

At that time, it was deep winter in the area, as can easily be seen from the ground frost covering the interior of Hooke Crater and large sections of the landscape in the image.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-11487/

The Hellas Planitia impact basin is, however, visible as a large, light, almost circular area in the southern hemisphere. Images of the deepest parts of this impact basin – with unusually great visibility – have now been acquired with the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft.http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10333/623_read-11314/
